“At Pure our mission is to help our customers put their
data to work to drive innovation. This means bringing
their business three critical attributes – speed, agility,
and intelligence – to succeed in their own digital
transformation,” said James Petter, Vice President,
EMEA at Pure Storage.
“We do this by delivering the Data Platform for the
Cloud Era, a well-integrated set of software-defined
data services (block, file, object, and VM/container),
delivered by our flash systems, software, and cloud-
based management that enables our customers
to run all operations with cloud agility, improve the
economics of data analytics at high velocity and
scale, and ultimately derive new insights to deliver
data-driven customer results never before possible.”
Cloud-era web scale applications and a massively
increased focus on data analytics across nearly
every industry demand a new generation of all-
flash storage, designed to power tomorrow’s
innovation. Launched at last year’s edition of GITEX,
FlashBlade, is the industry’s first cloud-era flash array,
purpose-built for modern analytics and designed
to drive tomorrow’s discoveries, insights, and
creations. Available in 8TB, 17TB and 52TB blade
configurations, FlashBlade offers a raw capacity of up
to 4PB at full 75 blade scale. n
